May the fourth be with you: everything you never knew about Star Wars! - Star Wars Day, or "May the Fourth," as some call it (unless you're rebel scum), is a "holiday" created by George Lucas for all the fans of the saga. The date was chosen based on a pun of "may the force be with you," one of the movie's most iconic phrases, and is celebrated by fans around the world.

The 'Star Wars' saga movies continue to break box office records and fascinate new generations of movie goers. Now with a new film released every year, there are plenty of stories to be told.

In this gallery we put together some interesting facts that you may not have known about the legendary saga. Think you can prove us wrong? Click on the gallery and see for yourself!

Slippers - Peter Cushing played the legendary Grand Moff Tarkin. He found the boots that he had to wear so uncomfortable that in most of his scenes, he wore slippers, as noted in Wookieepedia, the official encyclopedia for Star Wars fans.

Sound - The iconic sound made by the "TIE Fighter" was created by sound designer Ben Burtt. He used a mix of an elephant wail and cars skidding on wet ground to create it. These and many other iconic sounds created by Ben Burtt can be discovered in the book ‘The Sounds of Star Wars.’

Lost - According to the official website of the ‘Star Wars’ films, actor Liam Neeson, who played Qui-Gon Jinn in ‘Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace,’ got lost while filming in Tunisia during a nighttime storm.

Accident - Before filming began on 'Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back,' Mark Hamill was involved in a car accident that left him with facial scars. The scene in 'Empire' where Luke is attacked by a Wampa was included to explain his scars.

Ewoks - Despite playing a big part in 'Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi,' the word "Ewok" is never actually said in the film. If you don't believe us, you'll just have to watch it again! The name only appears on the toys.

Special effects - Any clone trooper you see in episodes I, II, and III were computer-generated. One of the biggest complaints leveled at the prequels when they were released was that they included too many special effects.

Lightsaber sounds - On The Graham Norton Show, actor Ewan McGregor, who played a younger Obi-Wan Kenobi, revealed that he found it really hard not to make lightsaber sounds with his mouth when filming his lightsaber battles. The sounds were removed in post-production.

James Earl Jones - James Earl Jones is the man who lent his voice to Darth Vader. However, if you look at the credits of the original 'Star Wars,' you won't find his name. Jones specifically asked not to be credited because he thought the film would be a flop.

Holidays - When 'A New Hope' was released in 1977, few people believed in the film, even director George Lucas. He was even planning on going on vacation to Hawaii with Steven Spielberg instead of to the premiere. This was revealed in 2015 at the Tribeca Film Festival.

A happy story - Mark Hamill and John Boyega convinced J.J. Abrams to show 'Episode VII: The Force Awakens' to fan Daniel Fleetwood before its general release. Daniel had terminal cancer and wasn't expected to live for the premiere. He died on November 10, 2015 and the film premiered in the middle of December.

Audition fear - As shown by Access Online, actor John Boyega didn't want to tell his parents that he'd auditioned for 'Star Wars' because he feared he wouldn't get the role. He only told them after his photo was shared by the official 'Star Wars' Twitter.

Four people for one character - In the original trilogy, Darth Vader was played by four different people. The man in the suit onscreen is David Prowse. Bob Anderson doubled for action scenes. The iconic voice was provided by James Earl Jones and Sebastian Shaw played Vader without his mask.

Cinema's biggest secret - The iconic line "I am your father" was added in post production, so all the actors were surprised, according to Reader’s Digest. David Prowse (Darth Vader) yelled "Obi-Wan killed your father" and that was the version known to the crew. However, George Lucas and some of the production crew knew the real secret which would be revealed in 'Empire Strikes Back.'

Big bet - Steven Spielberg and George Lucas made a bet on 'Star Wars's' success. Spielberg believed the story would be a hit, so if he won the bet he would get a percentage of the film's profits. It ended up being a blockbuster hit and Spielberg still makes money off of it today, as reported on Celebrity Net Worth.

David Lynch - According to Lynch himself, in a panel for The Hudson Union, the famous director was contacted by George Lucas to direct ‘Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi.’ However, Lynch refused.
